I have struggled with a personal situation for some time now] [Hi to all.

[wudbutcher]

These are unprecedented times. Not all engineers are employed. Also finding employment right now (unless you want to do something like work at mcdonalds or slightly over min wage warehouse jobs) is extremely hard.

I know a lot of people out of work right now. Even in normal times people take time off / not well enough to work. Consider covid and engineers that are homeless and may never engineer again are probably pretty common.

That right there. Readers that happen to work at McDonald’s or any other essential service industry, please disregard this ass. Be proud you’re working. And I for one am thankful for you.
Some forward momentum better than none. Small paycheck better than none. I’ve met some good folks on here, however, there is a significant number of the upper middle class on the tit till mid twenties crowd that I’m torn over.
On one hand irks me that their opinion of themselves is such that they make comments such as above. They only comprehend smooth waters. In a crisis, first to fold.
In the other, I adore them. I bill them at 60 per hour with a four hour minimum which they gladly pay to keep from changing lightbulbs above 10 feet off the ground are cleaning out their gutters

You dont even make sense. I thought the engineer folded? And now they own 4 houses minimum and are paying you $60 an hour to change lightbulbs?

You double posted to brag about your own money, but 60 an hour really isn't much to be honest. About halfway there....

What you don't understand is that people making big bucks (like 150k+ salary) have studied and worked you over 10x. Getting a shit job is for lazy people.

If you are reading this and work at McDonalds, please go to school and educate yourself. Reach for something higher. Get a skilled trade / craft. You will thank me later.

Spoken like one on the tit till mid twenties. We don’t all grow up with daddies to powder our asses while we “ find ourselves”. Your reasoning is like your handshake I’ll bet. Limp and silky soft. Bitch

Furthermore, rather than be appreciative and aware that you’re in the minority, ( yes that’s right kiddo) you actually try to spin it to imply some Herculean effort on your part to achieve your lopsided social definition of success. Twizzler for a backbone, love it. Your kind keep me busy. Keep reproducing. In a civilized world, I’ll earn your money. Shit hits the fan and it’s survival of the fittest, I’ll TAKE your money. While you cower, confused that they didn’t teach that in sociology 101.
